Actually I have got a laugh or 2 out of this thread as well, but I feel the point has been made already. If you can't erase it destroy it. Thanks guys for closing it down.

I just got rid of my daughter's old computer. It was an hp and I downloaded some software to clean the drive. The software would not work on an hp drive. So I opened the case and drilled about 3 3/8 inch holes through the drive. Then I dropped the computer off at staples. They will recycle it. Here in Pa. you can no longer send electronics to a landfill. I think that is a great idea. I have since recycled monitors, computers, routers and tvs. Best Buy will also take them. -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrin Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2013 5:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Erasing hard drives. Why generate so much heat when a sledge hammer will do the trick. Either way just physically destroy the drive.
